Gu Qing Shan stood in the middle of the wilderness.
He was silently thinking about everything he saw just now.
A surprised voice resounded in the sky: 「 You actually survived? 」
Gu Qing Shan looked up.
The Spirit Tortoise was hovering in the sky, looking down at him.
「 You're only a Virtualized realm cultivator — — how did you survive that war? No, even if you managed to find a place to hide and barely survive, that fragment wouldn't have let you out, you could only stay inside and relive everything over and over again 」 the Spirit Tortoise pondered and said.
"I have a Thaumaturgy that can be very useful in war" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Hearing that, the Spirit Tortoise's gaze changed a bit.
— — -so that's how it is, even though he's as weak as a speck of dust, he has a Thaumaturgy that can change the course of a war.
This brat must've contributed greatly to the war for the fragment to recognize him and let him out.
The Spirit Tortoise sighed emotionally: 「 After countless years, someone has finally managed to survive outside the Heavenly Palace, I'm not dreaming, am I? 」
Its tone was filled with bitterness and vicissitudes of life. Gu Qing Shan didn't know how to respond.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit and tried asking: "Senior, can this humble one enter the Barren Cloud Heavenly Palace now?"
The Spirit Tortoise regained its senses and replied in realization: 「 Of course, but there are only two ways to enter the Barren Cloud Heavenly Palace, and from my perspective, I feel that one of them is very suitable for you 」
"This humble one is willing to hear the details"
「 In a moment, I will take you to steal the jade disk — — this is the fastest and most direct method 」
"Steal the jade disk?" Gu Qing Shan doubtfully asked.
The Spirit Tortoise explained: 「 There are a total of two jade disks, one is the sect master's jade disk, held by every sect master of the Barren Cloud Heavenly Palace, the other is the guardian jade disk, kept inside the Vermillion Bird's nest 」
「 Although the Vermillion Bird is dead, its remnant soul still remains, we need to steal the jade disk from its nest 」
Gu Qing Shan asked: "What should we do?"
The spirit turtle said, "I'll leave my body in a while and fight the vermillion bird. When I fight it, use the opportunity to climb up the tree and retrieve the jade disc from its nest."
"The Vermillion Bird won't be too far away from its nest, so my battle with it will most likely affect you. With your strength, you'll die if you're touched by even the slightest shockwave from our battle."
"Then what should we do? If it doesn't work, shall we use another method? "Gu Qing Shan asked.
The spirit turtle said, "No, I will teach you an ability. It can help you preserve your life in a battle like this."
The spirit turtle said sternly, "Now that you've grasped this ability, it will assist you in surviving in many environments in the future. You won't die so easily"
Gu Qing Shan's heart skipped a beat.
Just what kind of powerful Divine Ability could allow a weak person to survive the battle between two ancient spiritual beasts?
In addition, he had never heard of divine abilities being imparted to others.
No matter what, he's willing to teach me such a powerful Divine Ability …
Gu Qing Shan gratefully replied: "Thank you for your kindness, senior, may I ask what kind of Divine Ability it is?"
The spirit turtle replied: "The Divine Ability I will teach you has a long history, it's called [No Trace of Head and Tail]"
"[No Trace of Head and Tail]?"
"Indeed, I will take a piece of my own turtle shell and use a supreme technique to place it on your back, allowing it to become one with your body"
"This way, you'll have the same defensive capabilities as me"
"With my turtle shell, no matter what life-threatening situation you face from now on, all you need to do is shrink your body and hide inside the turtle shell. No matter how powerful other people's techniques are, they won't be able to harm you"
"What do you think? Isn't this Divine Ability very powerful?" the spirit turtle pridefully asked.
"… It is very powerful … can this turtle shell be put away normally?" Gu Qing Shan carefully asked.
The spirit turtle replied: "It can't be put away, it's already fused with your body, becoming a part of you — — furthermore, if you have such a powerful turtle shell, why would you need to put it away?"
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but imagine the scene of her carrying this turtle shell on her back.
Although …
I usually have to carry this turtle shell on my back …
But with this turtle shell, I can attack anyone I want in battle!
As soon as someone tries to attack me, I'll be able to hide inside the turtle shell.
Hm … it really is [No Trace of Head and Tail], how powerful …
…
Powerful my ass!
Bastard!
If I fight like this, the enemy would probably die from laughter before I even get to the halfway point!
At this point, the spirit turtle seemed to have remembered something and spoke regretfully: "When the Kirin was about to die, I originally wanted to teach this [No Trace of Head and Tail] Thaumaturgy to him, after all, I was the closest to him"
"But after it heard me explain this divine ability, it refused to accept my divine ability no matter what. In the end, its injuries were too severe, and it died."
"I really don't understand what he was thinking"
Gu Qing Shan solemnly spoke: "Senior, regardless of what others think, I feel that this Thaumaturgy of yours is truly powerful, this humble one is truly in awe"
The spirit turtle joyfully spoke: "Not bad, youngster, you truly have good eyes!"
Gu Qing Shan solemnly replied: "But I once swore a vow to heaven and earth that as a sword cultivator, the most I can do is to use armor for defense, I cannot use any other means to evade an enemy's attack, otherwise I will be killed by the heaven and earth"
"You're a sword cultivator? No wonder you swore such a vow to heaven and earth "the spirit turtle sighed regretfully," then there's no other way, you can't accept this Thaumaturgy of mine "
Gu Qing Shan clasped her fist: "Senior, aren't there two ways to enter the Barren Cloud Heavenly Palace? We can try the second method. "
The spirit turtle nodded: "Indeed, if you can't accept my Thaumaturgy, you naturally won't be able to survive my battle against the Vermillion Bird, we can only try the second method"
"This humble one is willing to hear the details" Gu Qing Shan said.
The spirit turtle explained: "The second method is the entrance test that the master of the Heavenly Palace set up all those years ago. You must accept the entrance test as a pure newcomer, only after passing can you enter the sect"
It sighed and added: "This is an extremely strict test, I can't help you at all. If you can't pass, you will be killed by the lock seals right away"
"I'm willing to give it a try" Gu Qing Shan replied.
「 Very well, then give it a try 」 the spirit turtle replied.
It then spat out a jade disk from its mouth.
「 This is the jade disk for the entrance test, the Yellow Dragon, Kirin, Phoenix, and myself each have one 」
「 Take this jade disk to the mountain guardian pavilion, the Kirin's remnant soul won't trouble you, it will send you into the test 」
The jade disk hovered in the air before lightly landing in Gu Qing Shan's hand.
Gu Qing Shan clasped her fist: "Thank you, senior"
The spirit turtle replied: 「 Hm, if you pass the test, you will be able to enter the Barren Cloud Heavenly Palace as an official disciple, I will be waiting for you there 」
"Alright, then I'll be going" Gu Qing Shan said.
「 Go, be careful 」 the spirit turtle told her.
Gu Qing Shan nodded, turned around, and flew above the sea of clouds.
The spirit turtle stared at his figure and silently sighed.
「 Hah, how regretful, if this brat could accept my Thaumaturgy, would he still need to go through this trial of life and death?
